perity largely to personal skill as d
workman, and to correct tastes. In
part, also, his success was the result OF
economy, and that sound judgment
which led him when once he had saved
Q little money to rent the principal
corner store i'll town and advertise
briskly. And part was due to bis
name, which had an a~rIstocratic sound.
Fontaine was a young man of fine
address, with a knack of apt apparel,
and he quickly became the leading
ieweler. His credit vas excellent from
the start. He bought directly of the
manufacturers, Won and held the popu-
lar retail trade, and in five years rose
to q good commercial standing.
One September morning a stranger
asked for Mr.. Fontaine at his store, a
gentleman of foreign accent and APP
pearance. handsomely attired, with a
shrewd, energetic face. He was sales
man for o French manufacturing firm,
who solicited trade direct with Ameri-
can retailers. His prices seemed high,
although his wares were original III
pattern, and the stones of superior
purity and lustre. In fact, it was a
grade Of Jewels more costly than Fon-
tame had yet carried, and it appeared
doubtful If his quiet Ltown would jus
tify such expensive investments. Ac-
cording he declined to buy.
